Work at SBCTC

The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges is led by a Governor-appointed board and provides leadership, advocacy, and coordination for Washington’s system of public community and technical colleges. SBCTC, a medium-sized state agency headquartered in Olympia — with offices in Spokane and Bellevue — has four main divisions: Administrative Services, Education, Finance, and Information Technology.

Work at a College

Our community and technical college system remains focused on the educational challenge of our time: educating more people to higher levels in Washington State. Each year, nearly 500,000 students train for the workforce, prepare to transfer to a university, gain basic math and English skills, or pursue continuing education. Students rely on our colleges to make a better life for themselves. And our dedicated faculty and staff is committed to student success.

SBCTC Offers Work/Life Benefits Tailored to You

We offer pay, benefits, flexibility, and workplace opportunities to help you get the most out of your career and out of life. It's all about taking advantage of what works for your individual situation.

Retirement: We offer participation in well-funded state retirement plans. In addition, employees have the option to participate in two tax-deferred retirement investment programs.

Insurance: A comprehensive health care benefits package for you and your dependents by high-value medical, dental, and vision insurance. The state’s low employee premiums make high-quality insurance plans affordable. Basic life and long-term disability insurance plans are also provided by the state. Additional insurance coverage, like auto insurance, is available to state employees at reduced rates.

Compensation

Your paycheck is just part of your total compensation package. Employees also have access to an outstanding employee benefits package worth about 30 percent of their salary.

Vacation and Leave

Leave benefits include paid vacation; 11 paid holidays; 12 days of paid sick leave per year; newborn, adoptive, and emergency child care leave; leave without pay for maternity and education; paid leave for jury or other civil duties; and leave for military service.

The DCAP can help you reduce taxable income by setting aside money from each paycheck (before taxes) to pay for dependent care expenses. This benefit is only offered to PEBB benefits-eligible state and higher education employees

Employees may seek confidential professional help with personal or work-related problems though the EAP at no charge.

Flexibility

To give employees better control over their time, SBCTC makes alternative work arrangements possible on a case-by-case basis. These arrangements might include flexible schedules, paid time off, and unpaid leave of absence.

Professional Development and Career Advancement

The SBCTC encourages staff development, and personal and professional growth and promotion. Internal and external training opportunities are offered each year to build employee competencies and develop leadership capacity. And an employer-sponsored tuition reimbursement program and participation in the State Employee Tuition Waiver program provides further potential for personal and career growth.
